In an attempt to present the £9 billion Lower Thames Crossing project as hydrogen-fueled and environmentally friendly, National Highways has faced accusations of greenwashing. The Thames Crossing Action Group (TCAG), which opposes the scheme, dismisses the claims as propaganda, raising concerns about the project’s true environmental impact and cost.

The construction of power plants that initially burn natural gas and later transition to burning clean hydrogen is being pushed by European utilities. Nevertheless, the technology they rely on wastes energy and invites charges of “greenwashing.”
